Brazil travel data guide
A Brazil eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Brazil that you install before you fly. Plans in Brazil run on Claro, TIM and Vivo, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 20 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $3.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Latin America eSIM covers Brazil and 19 other countries on one plan, from $12.99. The Caribbean eSIM covers Brazil and 24 other countries on one plan, from $6.99. The Global eSIM covers Brazil and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Brazil, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Brazil from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Brazil FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Brazil?
It connects wherever Claro, TIM and Vivo have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Brazil, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Brazil?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Which is the best eSIM for Brazil if I only stay a week?
For a week in Brazil, the 1 GB plan valid for 7 days suits light use, and the 7 day unlimited plan suits everyone else. The unlimited one gives full speed up to its daily amount and slows down after it.
Is 5 GB enough for two weeks in Brazil?
Yes, 5 GB is enough for two weeks in Brazil for most people who use WiFi at their accommodation. It covers maps, ride apps, messaging and browsing. The 5 GB plan is valid for 30 days, so you will not run out of time.
Can I receive SMS codes on the Brazil eSIM?
No, the Brazil eSIM has no phone number and cannot receive SMS. Codes sent to your home number still arrive on your home SIM, as long as you leave that line switched on.
Do I have to turn on data roaming for the Brazil eSIM?
Yes, data roaming must be on for the eSIM line in Brazil. Keep it off on your home SIM so your carrier does not charge you. The two lines have separate switches in your phone's mobile settings.
Where do I find my QR code if I lose the email?
A copy of the QR code for your Brazil eSIM is kept in your customer account. Log in, open the order and scan it from there. Do this over WiFi before you travel, since the download needs a connection.
Can I share my Brazil data with a laptop?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Brazil plans. A laptop uses far more data than a phone, so keep an eye on a fixed allowance, or expect to hit the daily full speed amount sooner on an unlimited plan.
What happens when my fixed data runs out in Brazil?
The connection stops when a fixed Brazil plan is used up or its days end. Some plans can be topped up. On the others you buy a new plan, which installs as a separate eSIM.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
